…Umm…wasn’t the fluoride-is-a-commie-plot-to-pollute-our-precious-bodily-fluids the prime plank of the Texan Bircher Dentists who worshipped General Jack D Ripper…I mean Curtis LeMay…thought Strangelove was a doco, and insisted that JFK was shot with a magic bullet by a crazy Fidelista. Evidently the nutjobs aren’t limited to the local councils.

The member for Nudgee ( it’s GOT to be irony that politicians are all members – if not irony it’s still funny) says you don’t need letters after your name to know stuff.

What he didn’t add was you’ve got to know stuff to know stuff and he’s just some bloke who ran a gym (’cause, like, body builders – they’d never use chemicals and supplements and steroids or other chemicals but flourine is bad). He also didn’t say that the letters mean something useful and people with letters AND who know stuff think flourine is ok and bad teeth are shit.

Oy. This has never gone away in country Australia – and we wonder why there’s a shortage of dental services out here. You can set your watch by letters to the Border Morning Mail entitled ‘Leave our Precious Bodily Fluids Alone’.

Nudgee Nudgee wa*k wa*k – sums up the crowd of congenital f’ckwits we have allegedly running Queersland. The “Newman Govt” indeed, dog#1.
They are setting things up so when go wrong – as they most certainly will – the blame will go on anyone but the “Newman Govt”. Same old, same old …

What next? The white Queenslander policy. Secession again? Taxes at the border again?
At least the State of Origin Qld originals will be easy to spot- white, slack jawed, in-br@d and toothless. Sounds familiar……could double as the noberals front bench.

Sadly FD Queensland Councils broadly speaking do control the water supply and own it lock, stock and barrel. The south-east with the water grid could be problematic, but I fear stupidity could reign supreme and we may see the roll back of the hard won public health benefits of fluoridation.

The LNP government is abrogating its public health responsibility by placing the fluoridation decision back in the hands of councils – some of which have members which make the wing nut member for Nudgee seem rational. I think its time to look again at reestablishing a house of review in Qld; this mob is out of control and ramming through poor decisions on a regular basis because there is noone to hold them to account (until the next election – and even then I think there is enough residual anger at Labor for them to survive that without too much angst.

First Dog we also need a First Dog interpretation of the newly ammended Qld Local Government Act 2010 – in particular the Material Personal Interest and Conflict of Interest for Councillors… turns out according to Newman and Crisafulli (Minister of LG – the one that is encouraging them) that “a councillor does not have a material personal interest in the matter if the councillor has no greater personal interest in the matter than that of other persons in the local government area.”.. so if they only own 49% of the company.. it is ok.. they don’t have to declare becasue someone else owns the other 51%….!!!

If only it was that trivial, Microseris. it’s the re-emergence of the ghosts of Brian Ray and Mike Gore of the Gold Coast white shoe brigade, the likes of NP ministers like Russ Hinze,Don Lane and Brian Austin. And they were the ones who careless enough to get caught. Others – including Joh – got away, a shameful miscarriage of justice and due process. We’re already seeing it happen. The Qld electorate has the memory capacity of a goldfish.

Have moved back to NSW recently thanks to Newman government’s job creation plans. So whatever. Let the entire moronic populations’ teeth fallout for all I care. But at the very least provide no Medicare funded dental treatment to residents of areas that have chosen notto have fluoridation.

Oh FIRSTY, total brilliance. If anyone deserves tooth rot by the time they are thirteen, it’s the Queenslanders. Why are they so behind the other states? Why is the sea boiling hot and why do pigs have wings? Why are they so effing stupid?????

The worst thing of all is they don’t even have the wit to be ashamed of being laughed at!
